If you’re finally entering the world of “Pokemon GO” as it enters its second week of pop culture domination, be warned: there’s a war going on, and you will be asked to take a side. Upon reaching level 5, players are able to participate in Pokemon battles to take control of gyms at different landmarks, but to do so you will have to join one of three teams: Team Valor, Team Mystic, or Team Instinct.
Each of the three teams uses a color and insignia based on one of the three legendary birds. Team Valor follows the fire bird, Moltres, and values strength.
